Billy J. Kramer
(born
William Howard Ashton
, 19 August 1943 in
England) is a pop
singer, who was managed by Beatles manager Brian Epstein
.
With record producer George Martin, the song "Do You Want to Know a Secret?" was a number two in 1963 (but number one in some charts), and was backed by another tune otherwise unreleased by the Beatles, "I'll Be On My Way." After this impressive breakthrough, he reached #1 with another Lennon–McCartney pairing, which sold over one million copies. Kramer was given a series of songs specially written for him by John Lennon and Paul McCartney which launched him into stardom. "I'll Keep You Satisfied", "From a Window," "I Call Your Name" and "Bad to Me" earned him appearances on the TV programs Shindig, Hullabaloo & the Ed Sullivan Show.
The three hits penned by Lennon and McCartney suggested that Kramer would always remain in the Beatles' shadow, unless he tried something different. Despite being advised against it, he turned down the offer of another Lennon–McCartney song, "One and One Is Two", and insisted on recording "Little Chidlren." It became his second chart topper and biggest hit. In the United States, "Little Children" was backed with "Bad to Me". "Little Children" / "Bad To Me" is the only debut single of an act on the Hot 100, each of whose sides separately reached that chart's top 10 (No. 7 and No. 9, respectively). Despite this success Kramer went backwards with his second and last UK single of 1964, the Lennon–McCartney composition "From a Window", which only just became a top 10 hit. Billy continues to record and tour worldwide.
